It seems the hot new trend for the most popular games is source code theft. First Half-Life 2 was ripped off before it was even complete. Then about a week ago the gold code for Halo 2 was stolen, most likely from the French facility where it was being localized, and leaked to the Internet. Now Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas has apparently been jacked and made available on pirate Web sites. With Halo 2, they're banning folks with unlicensed code when they log onto Xbox Live. Alas, GTA has no such online component... In other GTA news, there's a credible rumor that an Xbox version of San Andreas might be out as early as February 2005. Stay tuned...
